Movie Reviews of DVD-The Blues/Rock Piano of Johnnie Johnson
Movie Review: Johnnie Johnson is Rock & Roll
Summary: 5 Stars
Johnnie was Chuck Berry's piano player for years, Chuck pretty much copied Johnnie on his guitar and made a bunch of money. This is another DVD from Homespun. I bought Dr John's 2 DVD set. It is the benchmark now for all these instructional DVD's I seem to be accumulating.
Dr. John plays solo, Johnnie has a back up band.
The sound on this video is good, the band is too loud in some spots.
What it horrible is the camera work. In Dr. John's DVD's the camera is fixed above his head, you get optimal view of both hands. The camera guy for Johnnie is all over the place, creating angles and missing the second hand, or both hands way too much, also, when Johnnie is cooking, I don't care what the other players look like, let me see his hands!!! Too much time spent wandering around the room. The included booklet is too small and has lame transcriptions (all the homespun dvd's come with this). I gave it a 5 rating because of Johnnie, the man is an American Music Icon and $20 is a bargain to watch him play up close.
Summary of DVD-The Blues/Rock Piano of Johnnie Johnson
Here's a rare close-up look at the playing of the father of rock and roll piano. Johnnie Johnson was the pianist on all of Chuck Berry's greatest hits, and in his forty-year career he has played with everyone from Eric Clapton to Keith Richards. The overhSimilar DVD Movies
